Moldova and Latvia square off in their Nations League fixture on Friday

Moldova will entertain Latvia at their Zimbru Stadium in the third fixture of the 2022-23 UEFA Nations League on Friday.

The two sides occupy the top two spots in the League D Group 1 standings. Latvia have recorded back-to-back wins in their two games in the competition so far, securing a 1-0 win against Liechtenstein on Sunday.

Moldova are also undefeated in their Nations League campaign thus far and, after kicking off their campaign with a 2-0 win against Liechtenstein, they were held to a goalless draw last time around by Andorra.

Moldova vs Latvia Prediction

Latvia are in good touch at the moment and have made it three wins in a row across all competitions. They are yet to concede a goal in the Nations League and are strong favorites in this match.

Moldova have also kept a clean sheet in their two games while scoring two goals. The game is expected to be a close contest but we are backing the visitors to eke out a narrow win here.

Prediction: Moldova 1-2 Latvia
